I've wanted ICE ever since I got Longclaw and admired the craftsmanship of that sword. I knew I wanted to add to my collection with this one because it's an impressive collectible. It's heavy like a great sword of its magnitude should be and it's very detailed. I recommend hanging it where it's not easily accessible to kids. I say that because it's heavy (it's not sharp) and I see a little kid hurting themselves if they're not careful. Valyrian Steel did a great job on this... just like the Longclaw one... I can't wait to receive my Robb Stark one!

Tywin thinks he's won...but alas ICE lives on. This sword embodies the spirit of the North that can never be broken. Now that I am properly armed with the sword of the Starks who came before me, I will restore honor to the North and lead us to victory. For Winter is Coming!

This sword is magnificent. It is well crafted and honed to perfection. It is everything I expected and more. It has a great 'wow' factor and friends are impressed. However, be prepared, as it is heavy and it will take two hands to mount onto the display plaque. Handle with towels so as not to leave finger prints on the blade. Make sure you leave enough room between the plaque and the room ceiling as the sword must be inserted into the plaque starting with the tip.The reviewer who thought the sword too big and out of proportion must be a small individual. Go back and view all the season 1 episodes and you'll see the sword is exactly what Eddard Stark carried. And yes, it's a big sword.

Amazing sword. I only gave this sword four stars because I had to be rather careful when placing the sword onto the wall plaque due to the fact it was a bit of a tight fit since the sword's blade is so wide in comparision to the width of the sword mounts. So I had to carefully and slowly lower the sword from the top through the sword mounts. Other than that amazing sword that dwarfs my Robb Stark sword which is hanging next to it. Valyrian Steel has amazing products. I highly recommend you purchase this sword.

This sword is nothing to lose your head over, but it is still an exceptoinal piece and worth buying for any fan of the series. The shipping on this sword was incredibly fast; I ordered it on a Tuesday and received it Thursday. What's more, the sword is exceptional. Yes, it is massive. It is to be primarily used for decorative or ornamental purposed. If you are needing to drive off enemies, perhaps you should choose a different weapon. With that being said, it is still well balanced for a sword as massive as it is, and made from high quality materials. It is heavy, but for a sword as massive as it is, that is to be expected (thought not unwieldly.)

To the other guy that said he could get a sword just as good for half the price, I suppose a madman sees what he sees. I have a great many swords, and none are as large and as well-balanced or as beautiful as Ice.

It comes with a fine plaque, a certificate of authenticity, and will certainly get you praise from anyone that is a fan of Game of Thrones.

If you choose not to buy this, so be it. That is your call. Just remember...Winter is Coming.

Was so excited when this came out. Impulse buy. Got it out of the box and was not so excited. Feels unproportionate. The grip is huge, the guard was as wide as my body, the blade has an ok finish to it but overall doesn't scream quality, the blade was also incredibly thin for the size of it and being unsharpened. I get that this is supposed to be a wall piece but from the description on the website, I expected more and certainly more for $300. I could find a better quality sword for half the price. I'm sure it would be an ok wall piece for someone not worried about $300 but I wasn't impressed. Nearly $50 for the return shipping with UPS.
